Bookplate belonging to Eleanor and Reginald Jebb adhered at front paste down. Interior otherwise unmarked. Includes a letter from Gill to previous owner Eleanor Jebb hand-written and signed by Gill on letterhead from Pigott's North Dean High Wycombe; dated February 1931. The letter had been torn and has been reconstructed by pasting its pieces onto a different piece of paper; this has been tipped-in by a previous owner at half title.
